LiveStrong Day

We are going yellow along with our friends Milo and Alfie to support LiveStrong and their fight to improve the lives of humans and animals affected by cancer.

We are simple cats and our Mom has very little talent when it comes to tweaking our photos, so we are going natural. Don't worry, it's still 'K' rated (appropriate for kittens)...we're keeping on our furs!

In this photo I'm posing with a yellow crescent moon and below me to the left is a photo of Mommy's beloved Momo. Momo lost his battle with kidney cancer in 1999 at the young age of 9. The vet believed it was caused by the food he was eating that contained Ethoxyquin (a rubber stabilizer and a known carcinogen) as a preservative. Of course Mommy had no idea that bad stuff was in his food and, even though that cat food company has since removed it from their food, she will never buy from them again.

The lovely Delilah is posing with one of our favorite yellow toys.

Oops! I promised we'd keep all our furs on! I forgot that when Bella arrived here she was almost naked. Kittens, don't look at the next photo of the exhibitionist Bella posing with the lemon toy!

Sweet Pea wanted to go yellow too. Here she is posing with a mini cat sun.

We would also like to mention our beautiful Grandma (Mommy's Mom) who is a skin cancer survivor. We are so happy that the doctors were able to cure her. We love you, Grandma!

Most of our friends have been affected by cancer and we offer our support and purr strongly for the ones that are fighting.

What a lovely post for LiveStrong Day! We love all your yellow items. We are also purraying for all those touched by cancer and remembering those who lost the battle.Live Strong!Purrs, Keiko, Kenji, Pricilla & YujiP.S. - We are also jealous that you have so many TORTIES there!!! Samson, you are a lucky mancat!

MOL, our assistant doesn't have a clue either about doing all these graphics. We really like your natural post and glad that no one was naked. We really like your yellow toys. The Monkeys are looking great.

Dear "Monkeys"... we love each and every one of your photos... this is a lovely and warm-hearted posting. And we purr and prayfor your Grandma's continued goodhealth in her fight against cancer. Livestrong!

Love your yellows. We are so sorry about your Mom's Momo. It breaks our heart that the petfood our beans feed us has so much bad stuffs in it that our beans didn't know about. We lost our Whiskers to the petfood recall in 2007. The Mom still feels really guilty about feeding Whiskers & Socks tainted petfood, but there was no way she could have known it was deliberately contaminated for profit.

We MUST LiveStrong for us and for those who have fought the good fight and lost to this miserable disease. Today we honor those who have lost their battle, those who are fighting their battle and those who have fought and won! They are all our HEROES!

Today we stand tall with all of the LiveStrong participants. Together we WILL find a cure in our lifetime!

Awww beautiful Samson! !thank you for telling us about Momo!! How awful for your mum to lose such a beauty! We are truly sorry. We are glad that bad company has removed that chemical but it's so wrong what happened to Momo!

And Delilah - you are looking just lovely with your yellow toy!

Awww bella Bella!!! We are so glad that your pretty furrs are all back!! But even without them you're still stunning!

Lovely Sweat Pea!! What an amazing mini cat sun!! It gives you a special glow!! :-)

We are so so so glad your grandma has beaten cancer with the help of doctors and medication. We really need to celebrate Livestrong everyday! take carex

Wonderful post and we think you did a great job showing your yellow in support of LiveStrong! We're sorry to hear about Momo. We're happy to hear that your Grandma has beat cancer! We're also glad that Bella isn't almost naked any longer!
